On days when Tim is not playing basketball, he enjoys going out for a leisurely ride in his 1997 Honda Accord. He shops at Sears, likes to eat saltine crackers, and often goes on bike rides with friends from his middle class neighborhood. He plays golf in the offseason with his father. Tim would not comment on the latest National Enquirer article alleging that he once made facial expressions in the mirror while shaving and smiled in his 7th grade yearbook photo.

Get the tim duncan mug.There is no real age of a dancing queen. A dancing queen is not an age but a feeling. An emotion that you cannot put into words, the only way to describe this emotion is with “dancing queen”. A true dancing queen knows that it is not age that defines one as a dancing queen but raw emotion. You may not reach this level of indescribable feelings when you are 17. You could be 12, 4, 68. There is no age. Now go, my friends, my young grasshoppers, and find this state of mind that is “dancing queen”.

In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias wherein persons of low ability suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their cognitive ability as greater than it is. The cognitive bias of illusory superiority derives from the metacognitive inability of low-ability persons to recognize their own ineptitude. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, low-ability people cannot objectively evaluate their actual competence or incompetence.
As described by David Dunning and Justin Kruger, the cognitive bias of illusory superiority results from an internal illusion in people of low ability and from an external misperception in people of high ability; that is, "the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others." Hence, the corollary to the Dunning–Kruger effect indicates that persons of high ability tend to underestimate their relative competence, and erroneously presume that tasks that are easy for them to perform also are easy for other people to perform.
